Oh, what a last bit of day's it's been! I need to write quickly since I only have 15 mins left at work ... We were in the studio yesterday laying down the bass tracks for the album, with which Jay is now editing to sync w/ his guitar and the drums. it's amazing how the sound just POUNDS out of the monitors now when we hear it ... I shudder with excitement to think what this will be when it's done. And I also shudder in a bit of nervousness because I know that my part is next! We'll prob. schedule some time in May or beginning of June to do the vocals. We'll do the "soft" parts first and the "intense" parts last (or so is our plan) and I'm hoping to do some "mid-scratches" (so, re-singing vocals so I figure out what I'm doing) at home as well as some backups and the "bits" (ie, spoken words and whispers). It feels surreal that it's coming together, and at the same time it feels like it's taking forever, haha.

All through this, freelance has been busy, in fact I have two HUGE deadlines this week and Break Forth is beginning again.

Worship at church is ongoing, and I am continually being taught things about my character that I'm sure I would have much rather hidden under something. Things become painfully obvious sometimes when you become accountable to a group of people. I come face to face with my weaknesses and my sin. But -- it is rewarding at the same time, as I'm learning that to lead others we must first lead ourselves. (by way of looking to Jesus' example and what is asked of us by God).

I think that's pretty much it. Jay and I will be celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary in about 2 and a half weeks, with a trip to the Grand Canyon -- I am highly looking forward to this =)

Till Next Blog ~ love a.

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
